This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing ...

The researchers discovered that the missing piece of myelin resulted in slower and less consistent signal transmission to the thalamus. "We had anticipated this, because myelin is known to be ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

Oligodendrocytes form myelin sheath during CNS development (developmental myelination). New concepts have emerged on the role of oligodendroglia and myelination in shaping animal life experience such ...

The finding could pave the way for new treatments for disorders linked to myelin damage, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and certain developmental conditions. The study, published ...

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

During a marathon, the body may use myelin, a fatty substance insulating brain neurons, as an energy source when other reserves run low, causing a temporary decrease in myelin in certain brain areas.

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...
